Re: John's Project
Nope. Wednesday I'm definately getting the truck in the garage, and start to pull the old motor. Talked to the guy building the engine this morning, and he said he ran into some problems with the oil pan that was on the engine. So he is having to find a different one. He said it was for an early style oil pump, and wouldn't clear the new one. So he said after he gets that he'll be ready to fire it up. Which I'm in no big hurry since I still haven't got the new home ready for it yet.

I made a trip to the local Pull-A-Part saturday morning, and scored some parts. Joe231 and his wife were there and helped me pull some, and most importantly helped me carry them parts around. I'll get some pics of them tomorrow when I'm off. Here's a list of what I got. 1) Factory tach gauge cluster out of a 81 Crew Cab. 2) 85-87 Grill in really good shape. Just needed some of the chrome trim pieces, but the whole thing was in good shape. 3) Steering column with no wipers on the column, and it also had a 88-94 Chevy steering wheel that I was looking for. 4) Headliner board. 5) Plastic spacer for the factory steering wheel so the horn will work properly. I got the few things that I was wanting to change. Primarily in the interior, whenever I get to it. |

Re: John's Project
Be glad there is an abundance of parts for your vehicle. Try finding Pull A Parts that have Satellite Sebrings, much less a 73 model lol. My searches have been fruitless. Did see one all tore up at a salvage yard the other day though. Crying shame.

Re: John's Project
OK here are the pics of the parts I picked up. Not the prettiest things, but they will do what I want to do.
Here is the steering wheel. I already have it installed on the truck. Headliner Board The steering column I got because I didn't like the bulkiness of the wiper controls on the signal switch. It does currently have cruise on it, but I'm not going to keep it. I'm going to try and figure out a new switch for the wipers that is not the slide type for this style of truck. I'm wanting a knob similar to the headlight switch. |

Re: John's Project
Here is the gauge cluster I got. I'm pretty psyched about it. I have only seen a handful of these clusters. I haven't decided yet if I want to use it, sell it, or hold on to it for a later project. I know Joe is hoping for the sell option.
Here also is a pic of the bed rails on, and then off. The bed rails aren't that bad, I just didn't want them on the truck. |

Re: John's Project
I don't know. We are thinking of going with a dark metallic gray for the color of the truck. If we do that I'll probably go with a gray interior. If we stick with blue exterior, then I'll probably go with blue interior. Still haven't set that in stone yet.

Re: John's Project
Thanks. I know I want a tach in my truck, but I'm not sure if I want to use the factory cluster, or aftermarket gauges. I hate to let it go though. Aww the problem that plaques many truck enthusiasts.
